A multi-agent system for restoration of an electric power distribution network with local generation

A Survey on Smart Agent-Based Microgrids for Resilient/Self-Healing Grids

“…JADE [88] is a Java-based platform for programming MAS, which was employed for MG power management and electrical distribution system control in [13,18,59,89,90]. Another recent agent-based platform is VOLTTRON which was developed at the U.S. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) [91,92].…”

MAS-based solution to energy management strategy of distributed generation system

“…With development of multi-agent technology in recent years, MAS has attracted many power system researchers' attention so that it has been applied to the field of microgrids and hybrid energy systems for energy management and distributed control [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In [3,4], the MAS was applied to implement a hierarchical management and control for dealing with the energy management problem of the high penetrated distribution grid and the microgrid.…”

“…A multiagent solution to distribution system restoration was presented and implemented in FIPA-ACL with JADE (JAVA Agent Development Framework) in [13,14]. In [15], JADE, as an effective platform for developing MAS, was proposed.…”

Experimental implementation of Multi-Agent System algorithm for distributed restoration of a Smart Grid System

“…In [5], a hybrid multi-agent framework with Q-learning algorithm is used to achieve grid restoration but it is stated that the framework need be tested in some real case studies. [6] utilizes MAS for the restoration of an electric power distribution network with local generation and [7] uses a hybrid MAS framework that works for radial distribution networks with microgrids for fault restoration. The common fact in [1 -7] is that they all verified there proposed algorithms using simulations while in this work the proposed algorithm is tested on a large-scale experimental platform.…”
